Wars make me want to learn PvP. I couldn't give two wet crackers about lessers, but the inherent stakes of war and the RP surrounding it makes the combat fun, organic, and highly motivating. Organic RP in general is just overall sexy and exciting, a…
edit: dealt with this another way. The sentiment behind it is still genuine since I've dealt with it in other contexts, but leaving this here atm post-resolution doesn't feel helpful to anybody.

Make a news post. I'm serious. If it's interesting enough and you put the right vibe out there, someone will pick it up. And it won't cost you credits.
A public forum of discussion is the opposite of an echo chamber. Some of us, at this moment, as a group (or rather a handful of individuals that keep recurring) are being a bit foward with our opinions, but that does not make this an echo chamber. T…

This is really what this sounds like to me (especially since the admin apparently took it seriously enough that they felt compelled to make an OOC announce post about it) : in Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet PeevesComment by TetchtaApril 2022
"The culture [foisted upon us by] the game" is a pretty lackluster excuse, honestly. The Admin do demand that orgs fall within certain parameters (as seen with the administration doing heavy intervention with both Bloodloch and the Dominion right no…
I don't love the idea of leaking this sort of 1v1 thing, but I'll at least preface it with "it's possible I'm misinterpreting this" and, also, that this person may have changed their mind/tune after this convo, AND I'm going to censor who it is to b…
I've had Enorian leadership say to me OOC that they don't want to initiate proactive RP, so I think y'all should really do some soul-searching on where this perception that you only get reactive events comes from.
I'm double posting and I don't care if it's against the law. Firstly: Nipsy using his godcurse to escape trouble is objectively hilarious and nothing will convince me otherwise (especially since it comes with a stun/balance knock or something afterw…
If you're mad about being primarily reactive and less proactive, be more proactive. If you're mad about what is essentially a fair fight**, I don't know what to tell you.
**fair conditions in this context. The mechanics are 100% above b…
Isn't a war practically equal mechanically? Bloodloch has to also hold an area while also doing a lengthy mechanical mini game. It seems the mechanics are either equal, or slanted in Enorian's favor.
An OrgReq we'd been talking about forever in the Carnifex and finally wrote up got implimented in like a month. I'm so overwhelmed with hype and joy right now.
There's an over index number of queer, neurodivergent, trans, and otherwise marginalized people who play Aetolia. It's an extremely gay and "remember to take your meds today!" game.
If that weren't replying to something directly, I'd pu…
The only really positive thing I can say here is that it is not a bad thing to decide that this game isn't for you and to move on to places that scratch the specific itch you're looking for and don't cause mental distress in the process.
This is a side tangent but related, when people ask you for OOC information and you say something like "find out IC" they say something to the effect of "but I don't wanna know IC, I wanna know OOC." Like tough shit, then? Then, uh, get used to disa…
Idk if we're allowed to post who the characters are or if that pushes against the rules. But it's been figured out and I'mma say this: this is not appropriate. This is not "feedback." This is, at best, an inappropriate attempt to glean IC informatio…
I rolled a few lowbies at one point and messed with it and I got rocked by shock a lot. It really seems like something that punishes you for being a newbie/lowbie/not-a-whale. It also seemed to punish experimentation, because when I was trying to fi…
